We love the re-issued Jenny Linsky books from 1949 from the New York Review of Books. This Zara kids knit cap with Windy's red scarf is a perfect Jenny Linsky costume!
Windy: A Rainy Day Bird
This is the second in our series of DIY costume ideas, inspired by our Halloween story!
With your socks of yellow, you won't mind the weather, especially if you happen to have some nice yellow or red gumboots. Since it usually dry in Windy's paper Orchard, she's wearing her usual buckle shoes, but if you live somewhere rainy (like we do) why not wear some bright yellow tights with your wellies. If you like, you can even wear the wings over your raincoat! You will stand out on a drizzly day with your beautiful bright wings (use light fabrics that won't soak up too much water). If you want to keep your wings dry, perhaps a sky blue umbrella will do the trick.
The wings are easy to make, see this great roundup by Handmade Charlotte and the original post with template by Llevo el invierno.
All our costume ideas are on our Halloween pinboard, too.
